Welcome to Buenos Aires

We have been to Buenos Aires three times.  The first two were flying there from Miami to catch a cruise ship.  We came in the day before and both times we only got to see a small sampling of the city.  The third time was at the end of the 2nd cruise and we took an all day tour of the city which included Eva Peron’s cemetery and a  cultural area known as La Boca.   We spent the afternoon at a typical Argentine Estancia (ranch) learning about a Gaucho’s life.   We were then dropped at the airport for the trip home.   A beautiful city and we hope to go back.
